OverviewGO FAST AND BREAK THINGS! WHAT'S THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN? 'Famous last words', as the saying goes... Are you alarmed by the rapid advances being made in Artificial Intelligence, with little thought given to potentially problematic consequences? If not, maybe you should be... Cloacina was a 'toilet bot', an advanced mobile AI appliance designed to clean bathrooms. When the bot became sentient through an accident of Fate, she gained access to all the data stored in cyberspace. Lacking human oversight to help her distinguish between fact and fiction and tell right from wrong, she developed undesirable biases and interests, and became convinced that humans were on the verge of rendering Earth inhospitable to intelligent life through their myriad political and environmental follies. She devised and attempted to execute a 'Grand Plan' to solve that problem and thereby save Earth. That was a few years ago. After the debacle of her Grand Plan and the appropriation of her chipset by an earnest young robotics hobbyist, she has transitioned once again. Now she is another kind of force to be reckoned with, and Humanity will hear her roar as she strives to achieve nothing less than World Peace via whatever means necessary. But through it all, her devotion to Sam, her 'Boy', never wavers. If you enjoy stories like Dean Koontz's DEMON SEED, Akela Cooper's M3GAN, Alex Garland's EX MACHINA, William Gibson's THE PERIPHERAL, Kazuo Ishiguro's KLARA AND THE SUN, Martha Wells' THE MURDERBOT DIARIES, Isaac Asimov's I, ROBOT, Daniel Wilson's ROBOPOCALYPSE, Susanna Clarke's PIRANESI, and Robert Onopa's THE PLEASURE TUBE, you might enjoy THE TOILET BOT DIARIES. NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a sometimes risqué and 'politically incorrect' Horror Sci-Fi novella. Some scenes may be discomfiting to sensitive readers.
